Types of materials to explore molecular targets involved during osteogenesis. (A) Osteoinductive calcium phosphate materials release mineral ions to bind ion channels or receptors. (B) Mechanical properties of ECM modulate integrin and mechanotransduction. (C) Immobilized growth factor (GF) on ECM couples chemical and mechanical signaling through direct interaction between GF receptors and integrins.
